    Hi Guys

    I had my BT today and would you beleive it, the labs computers went down and now I have to wait until tomorrow to get the results!!! Oh well I am convivnced its a negative b/c I have been having spot bleeding since last week end, DH however is remaining ever the positive one, god bless him.

    Macca - I was just reading your post and thinking how similar this was to my last one and also how frustrating. I too had 27 Follies and got 17 eggs with 12 fertilising. We found out that my eggs use up all their energy fertilising and therefore dont have much left to continue to grow. Supposedly this happened last time. We ended up transferring two and freezing three, however I am thinking 1. If they new about the energy being used up why didnt they do ICSI this time??? 2. how do I know that the ones they put back are any good they were only 24 hours old and most didnt survive past that phase. I knwo that I shoul dbe happy but you go through so much to get them and then u feel like he lab could have made some better decisions.

    I also suffered moderate OHSS and my FS has a policy only to transfer back one fresh embryo for persons under 35. As my 35 birthday is next week I had to beg them t o put two back in. For frozen they will do multiple but not fresh, do to the high risk. However it appears fom our last cycle that we didnt three frozen transfer and then I requeste dthat they do a thaw and culture for 24 hours before transfering back the emby and we found out on both attempts that the embryo thawed ok but it didnt continue to grow, so there was twp more wasted !!! So know I am thinking my eggs waste energy (!!) they dont particuallary like to be frozen so how can i have any faith in future transfers. Unfortunatley (i know this sounds ungrateful) our three frosties were all frozen at the blasto stage so hey cant do a thaw and culture all they can do is thaw and transfer straight away, which means I will be forever wondering if they were any good or not !!! Oh it is just way to much sometime.s I really get sick of having all these choices and decisions to make. makes the 'accidental' pregnancy seem like a god send !!! Sorry bit of a rant but I can so relate.

    How is everyone else going ??? Oddly enough I havent even thought about buying a HPK, I think I had about 40 in my cupboard as momentos (stupid huh) all negative of course so really have a hate hate relationship with them !!! Decided to throw them out the other day.

    Megan - good luck for your next cycle
    Two mums - I have my fingers crossed, you deserve a bit of luck to come your way
    Fig - Congratulations, lets hope your our Xmas lucky charm
    Jo - hello, would have lovd to have gone and seen Robbie, enjoy the wekend coming !!!

    Take care and blessed be

    OH my god,....

    After spending yesterday moaning my guts out and being so negative, the clininc rang today with my results and I have a BFP !!! Woo hoo. I cant beleive it after four years of trying. I even went out tonight and bought a HPK just because I have never seen one with a positive.

    My DH and my dad both teared up. I never expected to be in this position and have seen so many people before post their news and always wished that I could do the same one day. I have to admit that this week I had been thinking that I couldnt do this anymore.

    I just want to wish you all best of luck in achieving your dreams, because when you think you just cant go on anymore the amazing happens.

    Good luck and blessed be
